UPDATE: Suspect says grenade belonged to brother; white supremacist and “anti-government” materials said to be found

A domestic violence call on Kirby Road in Saratoga Springs has allegedly uncovered a grenade, white supremacist materials and what some viewed as threats against President Barack Obama, staff writer Dennis Yusko reports.

The story reported that 22-year-old Daniel Day was arrested Thursday on weapons charges.

District Attorney James Murphy said, “This man is potentially a very dangerous person.”

In court today, Day, a part-time restaurant employee, said through his attorney that any weapons found belonged to his brother.

Domestic violence is despicable. But what concerns me here is making, quite literally, a federal case over “anti-government” sentiments, and even mentioning legally owned weapons as if they are somehow relevant to the case. We just endured 8 years of vicious anti-government rantings, in what I’m sure will be viewed by history as a sad and twisted period that marked the beginning of the demise of this country’s freedom, a period where if you were not outspokenly critical of the Bush administration or, worse yet, dared to voice agreement and support of his policies, you ridiculed, demeaned, and ostracized. Few seemed to have any problem with anti-government sentiment then. My, how the tide has turned now that Obama is president.
